Box Office has a Grudge . . . Again

Let's face it. It's October. That's pretty much why "The Grudge 2" made as much money as it did this past weekend. Nevermind that the movie sounds as retarded as . . . say, a third Bill & Ted movie . . . and the director hasn't really made anything other than Grudge movies . . . but you people just love your PG13'y scares. The better movie that was in theaters this weekend ended up taking the #poop position. Sorry lovers of cinematic drama. "Man of the Year", the "what if our President was intentionally trying to be funny" movie comes in 3rd.

The rest of the movies are kind of forgettable. "The Marine", WWE's newest release did so-so in its first weekend. "Employee of the Month", Dane Cook's latest attention-whore-off isn't doing so well in the #8 position. But that number matches Jessica Simpson's IQ score. So, umm . . . hooray for that? Looks like Jackass is almost done grossing out America this week. But, don't worry, it should be ready to gross you out on DVD in about 3 months.
